Our hotel recommended this as a good restaurant to go to with kids. Wow. We were certainly surprised when we arrived with our kids to dirty looks from most. We asked how long the wait would be and the man said at least 45 minutes but no promises, it could be much longer. Since we didn't know where else to go in the city and had trekked all the way there with our three kids we said we would wait. I guess they realized they were not getting rid of us that easily and miraculously 5 minutes later there was a table for us.
The waiter was much nicer and accommodating to our family. He split a dish on to two plates for our kids and put tomato sauce on the side as requested by them. My steak was mediocre. For the size of the steak, about half of it was fat. I would have been more impressed with a small piece of quality steak rather than a gigantic one that you couldn't eat a lot of.
All in all, I would not recommend this to families unless you have teenagers that will quietly sit and eat dinner. Our small children are very used to eating out and traveling and were well behaved at this meal and we still very much felt out of place in this restaurant. We felt rushed to leave and unsatisfied after the meal. Disappointed in this Montreal dining experience.
